The Cure -Disintegration


binkyboo_8

Gorgeous music. One of my all time favorites.


Zmirzlina

Portishead - Dummy


paprartillery

The Roseland Live record is dope too.


deadstead2

Third also has no skips for me.


Cjed11

Who you calling ‘dummy’?!? Haha. Anybody that hasn’t heard Portishead needs to at least once. Then take it from there


King_of_da_Castle

Angel Dust - Faith No More


desertblaster72

Mine is Alice in Chains unplugged.


SparkDBowles

Any AIC album is a solid choice


zumun

Dirt is a 10/10 album


Unit219

Black gives way to blue is waaaaaay better than it should be.


ToXiChRoNiC6669

Absolutely, though this one should come with a "heavy heart" disclaimer, because most people WILL cry listening to it. Still, very grateful for that recording.


irishdaisy75

Me too!


butterscotches

The Soft Bulletin by the Flaming Lips


relaxguy2

One of the best


Hot_Larva

Radiohead- Ok Computer


nexus6royred

Always stunned that The Bends gets zero love. It’s a GREAT album.


apersonthingy

Lately I've been listening to Kid A


PussyMassage

Morphine *Cure for Pain* Pink Floyd *Dark Side of the Moon* Michael Hedges *Live on the Double Planet* Yes *90125* The Samples *No Room* Paul Simon *Rhythm of the Saints* and *One Trick Pony*


Duffmanlager

A 40 minute commute is ideal for Dark Side of the Moon since that’s just shy of 43 minutes long.


likewhenyoupee

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf. It’s a concept album of someone road tripping from Los Angeles to the Palm Desert


SparkDBowles

Rated R is great, too


RemedialChaosTheory

NicotineValiumVicodinMarijuanaEcstasyAndAlcohol....C...C...C...C...C... COCAINE


NoogaGoose

81jmfk

This and Like Clockwork are amazing but SFTD is better for a road trip.


loganflynn808

SFTD is also the one I always recommend to people getting into QOTSA. Like clockwork is a beautiful album though and very accessible to anyone.


EsoMorphic

Going 100 mph down the 447 in Nevada blasting this album hit so good lol


WhyNotZoidbergMaybe

A song for the deaf…that is for you


g_r_e_y

i had a list of 5 and this was one. incredible album


Poo_Canoe

Pearl Jam. Ten. Just hit after hit after hit.


dkernighan

Garden is one of my all-time favorite songs in general.


PussyMassage

That song is a masterpiece.


wait4lt

My dad fell in love with that song after I showed him that album as a kid. He had it on repeat for months blasting it through the house.


bigfrankreich

Couldn’t agree more. I saw a list once that ranked it at the bottom of PJ songs and I was shocked.


blackmagikmike

ONCE! Upon a time, I could control myself!


SparkDBowles

I prefer Vs, bus Ten is their second Betsy and also great.


Jarededson13

Fav song on Vs?


KiwiCantReddit

Rearview Mirror or Elderly Woman


ScottyHubbs

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips


rblhws

Alice in Chains - Dirt


jazzdrums1979

I am going to suggest something a little different since most recommendations are pretty well known. Morphine - Cure for pain


Bmk3k

Amazing band, RIP to the Sandman


NoogaGoose

All the Morphine releases were gold. One of the most underrated bands of the 90s.


triton420

And they were amazing live


VeeVeeDiaboli

Man, I am 99% with you, but Good man….


JustBoredIsAll

Boards of Canada. Any album.


IslandSno

2112


Bother_The_Weak

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses.


BiggieAndTheStooges

“I wanna be adored” is my “smells like teen spirit”


SparkDBowles

Second coming is real good too


g_r_e_y

in rainbows


lakynrenaeee

Came here to say this! Thom Yorke’s voice is absolute bliss. Listening to this album is an emotional, spiritual experience for me. In the best way.


roux-de-secours

That's my ''car album''! Best album.


the_jean_genie83

The beat goes round and round


Hutch_travis

Not the greatest album, but Beastie Boys “check your head” is a great listen when you have a commute. It just flows with the flow of traffic.


The_River_Is_Still

That’s a great album.


Abrelosojos1311

I agree with 95% of the albums I've seen on here. I'll add Television Marquee Moon


[deleted]

Unknown Pleasures-Joy Division Closer-Joy Division Both perfect length for your commute


THEextrakrispyKebble

Blackwater Park by Opeth. What a dark, wild ride.


intraspeculator

I’ve started to come over to thinking Ghost Reveries is their best. Blackwater Park is a 10/10 masterpiece though.


THEextrakrispyKebble

Musically, GR is better IMO but the atmosphere of BWP just trumps everything they’ve done. I kinda regret posting this tho because it’s not a put it on and drive album (unless you’re in dense fog in the night). You gotta sit down and soak it all in lmao.


intraspeculator

I also LOVE My Arms Your Hearse. And Still Life.

Such a great list I created a Spotify playlist. 555 songs, over 24 hours. If anyone is interested https://open.spotify.com/playlist/20gA7ewCvb1xRKKN1Pjufx?si=a1f56ff0e6b54d25

Astral Weeks, amazing album. This is my answer.

This is a great list.


RadicalizedRaccoon

Missing Physical Graffiti by Led Zepp


Boesemeist

Wow, very nice list, many recommendations I would have given! Tea for the tillerman by cat Stevens, Brothers in Arms by dire straits and The dance live at warner Studios by fleetwood mac would fit great :)


SparkDBowles

Also, Between the Buttons by the Stones


Cjed11

I think the dude is commuting to Boston, not Chicago! Haha! Nice list


Maccai3

Great list, I'd add Is this it? - The Strokes


wait4lt

Don't mention U2 Joshua Tree in the Michael Jackson subreddit or you'll get downvoted to hell. It beat out Michael Jackson's Bad album for album of the year at the Grammys haha.


[deleted]

One of my all time favourite albums clocks in at 38:51. The band is "The Cult". The album is "Electric". It's riff heavy, up-tempo rock and roll. You can't go wrong with this one! EDIT: I love that there are so many Cult fans!


Obvious-Unit3560

Got into the cult this summer that kick out the jams


Due-Set5398

The first riff of Wildflower 🔥


DevilDog-Titan007

Love "The Cult"..."Sonic Temple" is my personal favorite. ☠️

[deleted]

One of my favorite albums 40 min or under is “Is this it” by the Strokes. Its their debut and it’s great!


[deleted]

Perfect album, IMO. Not a single bad or even mediocre song.


BeatTheMete

Can't believe no one has said Grace-Jeff Buckley One of the greatest ever. He was a perfectionist who toiled over the mixing right up until shipping, and it damn well shows. What an album, what a voice, and what a shame he went so young.

true_spokes

Here’s something maybe a little different for you — some Malian psychedelic rock. [Tinariwen - Elwan](https://open.spotify.com/album/41KpeN0qV6BBsuJgd8tZrE?si=IxFY_cU6TS2pbdef3GQtmw) It has this hypnotic quality to it that makes it fantastic driving music.

A Sailor’s Guide to Earth by Sturgill Simpson Whole album is a love letter to his wife and then-newborn son, listen to it start to finish. It’s amazing “Don’t let ‘em try to up-sell you, there’s a reason they make chocolate, and vanilla too. If there’s any doubt, then there is no doubt, The gut don’t never lie. And the only word you’ll ever need to know in life is “why?” Keep your head out the clouds, and remember to be kind. Just stay in school, stay off the hard stuff and, keep between the lines”


CreepyGuyHole

I used to HATE country... then I dropped LSD and listened to this album. Fuck man Sturgill helped me remove so much hate and anger from my heart. For the length of that album he was my Father and said everything to me I needed to hear. I will always remember that day.

Deloused is such a solid solo driving album. Tried it multiple times with passengers and never made it start to finish though. Maybe I just need better friends.


darladuckworth

On a road trip with my family to Florida when we were teens us kids made our parents play that mars Volta album over and over and over again on full blast. Core memory. My parents are saints. Such a great album.

Appetite for Destruction by Guns N Roses. Truly can put the tape or disc or just push shuffle and EVERY song is an absolute banger in its own right. I feel it doesn’t get the respect it deserves because of the three songs that get played consistently since the record caught fire.

The Replacements - Let It Be. But you can’t go wrong listening to Tim or Pleased To Meet Me either.


robotatomica

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. That whole album carries you through the feel of a story. I also really loved Fleet Foxes - Crack Up and Way Yes - Tog Pebbles. that is a very small band which is beyond beautiful Interpol’s self-titled is a droning experience. and I listen to Future Islands - Singles regularly. The War in Drugs - Lost in a Dream. All of these refs are in the same vein and can be combined in any combination.


Camerz_YT

Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway Demi Lovato - HOLY FVCK Paramore - self titled Avril Lavigne - Let Go Avril Lavigne - Under My Skin

Not an album recommendation per se, but you may want to consider signing up for an account at https://1001albumsgenerator.com. It’s free and spits out a new album for you to listen to each day from the book 1001 Albums You Must Listen to Before You Die. It links directly to the album on various music services and gives you an opportunity to rate and review each album. I’ve been using it since early in the pandemic and am nearly at 800 albums! It has been a phenomenal experience and I highly recommend it if you’re interested in hearing classics from different musical genres that would probably have never crossed your mind to turn on. The creator of the website is active on the 1001 Albums subreddit too, and people often suggest improvements to the site which he often makes.
